Delegates Face Jewish Concern for Israel

(Continued from Page 1)
Democrat who represents
the Boro Park section of
Brooklyn, home of one of the
largest concentrations of
Orthodox Jews in the world,
has announced his support
for Reagan because of the
Republican's statements
backing Israel.
Support for Reagan can
also be seen among a group
of Jewish intellectuals who
combine support of Israel
with a need for a more
hard-line foreign policy and
beefed up defense.

But perhaps even more
worrisome to the
President than an in-
crease in the percentage
of Jewish voters going to
Reagan, perhaps even
more than the 35 percent
received by President
Nixon against Sen.
George McGovern of

North Dakota in 1972, is
that Jewish voters will
back Rep. John Ander-
son (R-111.), the indepen-
dent candidate for the
Presidency. Polls have
shown he scores high
among Jewish voters and
he has been making a
major appeal for the
Jewish vote.
The Jewish vote takes on
great importance this year.
The experts believe that for
Carter to defeat Reagan he
must win the major indus-
trial states of the Northeast
and Midwest. Jews make up
an important part of the
voters in these states, espe-
cially in New York. Ander-
'son, if he receives a strong
Jewish vote, could ensure
that Reagan defeats Carter
in those states, and might
possibly carry the states
himself.
The Carter forces are well

aware of this. Evidence
could be seen when the
Democratic Party's Plat-
form Committee hammered
out the platform that will be
approved at next week's
convention.
The Carter people rol-
led over the Kennedy
backers on every issue.
In fact, once the question
of open or closed conven-
tion is out of the way,
Kennedy will make the
economy and what to do
about it the major issue of
the convention.
But on the Mideast, the
Carter forces were willing
to compromise. They agreed
to allow the plank of the
1972 and 1976 platforms to
stand. It states that the

Democratic Party supports
"the established status of
Jerusalem as the capital of
Israel with free access to all
its holy places provided to
all faiths. As a symbol of
this stand, the U.S. Em-
bassy should be moved from
Tel Aviv to Jerusalem."
A qualifying third sen-
tence which the Carter
forces had originally de-
manded be added was
moved to another part of the
long section on the Middle
East. This reads: "It is rec-
ognized that the Democratic
Administration has to pro-
ceed with special care and
sensitivity resulting from
its deep engagement in the
delicate process of promot-
ing a wider Kace for Israel."

EEC Chairman Meets Arafat

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Reports from Beirut said
that Gaston Thorn, the
foreign minister of Luxem-
bourg and the chairman of
the European Economic
Community (EEC), who is
heading an EEC Mideast
fact-finding mission, had a
three-hour meeting Tues-
day with Palestine Libera-
tion Organization chief
Yasir Arafat in Lebanon's
capital.
It was the first official
meeting between a leader of

em diplomats in Beirut re-
portedly described the talks
as a boost for the PLO chiefs
campaign for international
recognition for his organ-
ization. The fact-finding
mission follows a call by the
EEC at its summit meeting
in Venice in June for the
PLO to participate in the
Mideast peace talks.
Thorn, who visited Israel
last week, said he and
Arafat discussed the PLO's
attitude toward the Venice
declaration. Thorn also was
scheduled to visit Syria and
Jordan.
In Jerusalem Premier
Menahem Begin had ad-
vised the EEC to steer
clear of the Middle East
peace process and allow
the Camp David proce-
dure to develop unim-
peded.
The premier dismissed
Thorn's suggestion that the
participation of the Pales-
tine Liberation Organiza-
tion in the negotiations
could be beneficial. Thorn
was reiterating the Venice
declaration which called for
the PLO to be "associated"
with the peace negotiations.
The EEC's policy also
came under heavy fire by
President Yitzhak Navon at
his meeting with Thorn.
Thorn said the
framework of the negotia-
tions set at the Camp David
talks was facing difficulties.
Therefore, the European
countries wanted to check
whether Israel was willing
to enter an alternative
channel of negotiations.
Thorn said he also wanted
to learn whether Israel was
willing to evacuate any ter-
ritories occupied in 1967.
(In Washington, former
U.S. Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger told the
Senate Energy and Natural
Resources Committee that
the EEC nations • are
engaged in "dangerous es-
capism" in trying to solve
the Mideast crisis by ap-
peasing such groups as the
PLO.)
